,r and can Patented July '12, 1932 HEINRICH LESGHH OBCR', OF ZUIFENHAUSEN, NEAR STUTTGABT, GERIANY IOR'M OF THE USED INOFFICE WORK Application many 1, iesnsmai m).

The present invention relates-to a novel combination of forms of the kind used in oflice work, such as invoices, advicesmf receipt, despatch notices, pay rolls and the like,

i and effects a considerable saving in time and material by p y g the actual writingwork. The application of the invention will be found particularly profitable in connection with work that has 'to be regularly done at stated periods, such as, for example, pay roll work. v I Forms that are su erimposed or telescoped like scalesto facilitate writing work are known already. They serve the purpose to save space by covering the lettering at the head of the various strips of which they consist so that the lines of the undivided-superposed forms may be moved more closely together. In this way the general arrangement of accounts or the like becomesclearer. However, forms of this kind are expensive to produce a'ndtherefore unec'onomical. Furthermore, the do not permit\of perfect register ardly be inserted in typewriters, as their inequalities render motion within the machine quite diflicult; their raised scaly portions stick inthe machine and cause warpmg and distortion. Owing to inequal pressure on. the projecting margins of the strips, tilese forms are liable to get soiled very eas- 1 y.

The invention eliminates these defects almost completely without giving up the advantages 'connected with partially covered superimposed or telescoped forms.

The combination of forms according to the invention comprises two or several trans- -versely slotted sheets which are not superposed like scales. but secured by being placed perfectly flat and level upon one another. These sheets are held together by means of gummed adhesive strips in such a way that the slots are stag ered relative to one another for the width of an adhesive strip. In this way,.in the total. form, one strip of an uppfr sheet always constitutes a form to-' get or with a strip of the underlying sheet ormore than two sheets may be united and each form consist of three or more strips. If-

a covering sheet. without slots is then placed 584,355, and in Germany Hey to, 198.0.

on' either side of the "combined sheets and preferably pasted down at the margins, the

entire'combination may be passed through :1 typewriterwithout causing the sheets to stick in the machine or'become displaced relative to one another. Thecost of producing such form combinations is quite low which are therefore economical and adapted for widest use. p I

'One form of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is an elevation of a form combination composed of two superposed sheets; and Fig. 2, a I

section thereof.

Referring to the drawing, two or more slots 8 and t are placed upon one another and .slots are staggered relative to one another b the width of an adhesive strip. The lower s eet or sheets carry preferably the heading of the form concerned. When the lateralhol-ding strips are separated along the line 1 g, the sheet combination will be divided into individual forms, each of which consists, for

- example, of a strip of the sheet g and a strip of the. sheet T. On one or both sides of the combination a covering sheet p may be provided.

I claim 1. A combination form comprising a pluralitflf superposed sheets transversely slotted to provide strips, and adhesive strips for holding together the said sheets, the slotsof the said sheets being staggered relative to one another by the width of an adhesive strip and each'stri of a sheet being adhesively connected with a strip of the underlyin sheet. 2. In a combination form accor ing to claim 1 sheets without slots connected with the margins of the slotted sheets: i

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
